A2A 52-miler

The Texas Flyers had planned to send a team to 2005 A2A [which was canceled that year --roadskater]. I wanted to participate in the worst way. I was too weak to skate at the time and started to ask skaters to go to A2A. “Don’t wait ‘til you’re ready. Go while the event exists.”

Deciding to do A2A was a very last minute decision. I kept hitting the website, read numerous stories and had a lot of friends tell me how hard it was! The more everyone told me how difficult it was, the more I wanted to do it.
